Got some eBay Iridium Supers

[rob_NH]

Well, I got my Iridium Supers in from ebay today, and either they're real, or the fakes are getting better. I can't tell if these are fakes. Based on the page here:

http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthr...xtra-Stainless

The printing is all correct. They seem legit in every way I can tell without having a good one next to it, except the flap didn't break at the perforations, the glue gave way at the top. I have some genuine ones coming in soon, so hopefully I can tell the difference then.

If there are any regular Iridium users who would like to assist in testing these as genuine, I will happily send blades at my expense for your evaluation. Please, I'd love for some experienced iridium users to weigh in. I'm going to wait to try them until my good ones come in so I can compare them more directly. I'd love to identify them as fakes sooner than that though, as I would like to challenge the purchase with ebay or my credit card before too long, so any help here is appreciated.

Really? 67 views and no one wants some free samples?

Well, my non-counterfeit ones showed up today, so I can at least compare them later. I'm busy tonight, but we'll see how they work out. Amazing props to Milo for the quick shipping!

How did the Ebay blades work out?

[rob_NH]

They appear to be genuine. I cannot tell them apart from the ones from Milo. I haven't used one yet. Used the Good iridium from Milo today. Will use it a couple more days, get a feel for it, and then try the ebay ones. If they are fakes, they are much better fakes than the ones on the counterfeit page. The boxes are identical, the printing is correct, the printing on the blade is the same, they feel the sme in the hand, they seem to have the same adhesive in the wrapper. I will be surprised if they are fakes at this point.

Sending some out tomorrow to an experienced Iridium user to see if he can tell the difference.

Wow, that'll be interesting if it turns out they are genuine. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on both blades once you and the other Iridium user have had a chance to use them. Be sure to post your thoughts here once you've tried them.

I will test a pack. I have a small supply of old stock super iridium, and I'll be happy to do a side by side.

All I use are Super Iridiums. Hands down my favorite blade. If you want to send a couple my way, I'd be happy to do a comparison for you.
